AMERICAN BLACK BEAR

Mr. Reeves born in January of 2024 in Alaska came to us in November of 2024 from Anchorage Zoo. Black bears are solitary animals except a mom with cubs. They are omnivores and his diet consist of veggies, fruit, fish and dog chow. In the wild he would eat a lot of nuts, berries and fish. They can live up to 30 years in the wild and males can weigh on average 400lbs and females 300lbs. He doesn’t go into hibernation because during colder months he always has access to food unlike in the wild however he goes into torpor which decreases his appetite and activity during the winter.
